I appreciate the feedback. I had been giving the latest safety features considerable consideration. The ACE frame, EBD, side curtain airbags and hood design with pedestrians in mind (Mazda incorporated such engineering in the hood of the RX-8). The other thread started by a new owner of an HCH II has also helped. I was leaning towards the HCH II before this feedback - but I think I'm convinced now - although that white on California red leather for sale w/11K miles is really tempting - to wait until I can get one with the somewhat controversial two-tone blue interior. Again - thanks for the feedback!
